This paper presents the play out of the COVID-19 in Israel, the unfolding health policy, and its effect on economics, public trust, and rate of vaccination.Policymakers aiming at a high vaccination coverage are called upon to support autonomous motivation of individuals to get vaccinated, through messages of autonomy and relatedness.Expectations that economic growth will be recouped through a high vaccine coverage will not be met, unlesspolicy makers set a caring culture that helps shape a meaningful rational for vaccination. Applying coercion, pressure, and external controls to enhance vaccination coverage may cause distrust in government and policymakers carrying potentially grave future consequences.Policymakers should use a measured approach to protect public health, with minimum infringement on citizens’ rights, with transparent and culturally appropriate messaging on immunization to enhance vaccinationacceptance while restoring trust in health policy makers.
